Man responding to Craigslist ad is kidnapped

A man was kidnapped at gunpoint Wednesday in Ocean Beach after responding to a Craigslist ad and forced to drive to his bank, San Diego police said.

The victim was later told to leave the bank when the suspect felt it was taking too long to get the money, San Diego police Officer David Stafford said. He left unharmed without giving any money to the suspect.

The victim met the suspect, a man believed to be in his mid 20s, shortly after 2 p.m. at a hotel on Narragansett Avenue, near Bacon Street, to inquire about a camera lens for sale. The man threatened him with a handgun and abducted him.

The suspect was described as white, about 6 feet tall, thin and wearing a hoodie.
